At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Romulus, Michigan, and the nearby western Wayne County suburbs in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Romulus is home to Detroit Metro Airport, and the warehouses, hotels, and freight businesses near I-94 and I-275 keep construction crews busy. Homeowners in the city's older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions add a steady stream of remodels, roof jobs, and cleanouts.
Your price comes down to four things: the container size, the type of debris, how many days you keep it, and the disposal fees at the landfill. We'll walk you through our price ranges, who to call about City streets, what Michigan landfills refuse, and where Romulus loads end up.

Here's what moves the price of a dumpster in Romulus up or down.
The container you choose sets the starting point. Renting one size up often costs less than paying for a second haul when the first container fills early.
Weight is the next piece. Wet shingles, plaster, and broken concrete add tons fast, while cabinets and furniture take up space but weigh much less. If your job mixes both, tell us so we can quote the right weight allowance.
The destination matters too. A public option for Romulus debris is the Riverview Land Preserve, a landfill the City of Riverview owns and runs about 14 miles southeast. It weighs each load on its own scale and sets its own disposal fees.
City rules round it out. The City's curbside trash service only takes what fits in the carts, so remodel debris needs its own container. Your account manager will explain how these pieces shape your quote.

Think about both the pile and its weight before you pick a size. Prime Dumpster rents containers from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster suits a single bathroom, a small deck, or a basement storage cleanout. Pick it for broken concrete or old brick too, since heavy debris reaches the weight cap long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster handles a kitchen tear-out, carpet and pad from several rooms, or a crowded garage. You get a good jump in space for a small step up in price.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the size many Romulus homeowners choose. It fits a whole-house cleanout, a roof on a typical ranch home, or a remodel that spans a few rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster works for additions, new home builds, and gutting a house down to the studs. Crews like it when the job throws off a lot of mixed debris.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container. It's made for warehouse and commercial projects, tenant build-outs, and large demolition jobs near the airport corridor.
Can't decide? Tell your account manager about the project, and they'll point you to the right size.
A dumpster on private property, such as your driveway or a fenced job site, usually doesn't need a City permit in Romulus. It's a different story if any part of the container will sit on a City street, sidewalk, or right-of-way.
The City of Romulus Public Works Department handles permits for road work and for contractors and haulers working in the City. The City doesn't post a separate dumpster permit online, so call before you plan a street placement. Some main roads in Romulus belong to Wayne County, which has its own rules.
You can reach Public Works at 734-942-7579, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your account manager can help you find the right contact and sort out what applies to your address.
Most remodeling, roofing, and cleanout debris is fine to load. The limits come from Michigan's landfill rules and from the landfill that takes your load.
Michigan keeps several items out of regular landfills. The list includes hazardous waste, bulk liquids, used oil, lead acid batteries, PCB waste, and medical waste. Whole tires are banned unless they're cut or shredded. The state also wants grass, leaves, and brush composted instead of buried, and returnable bottles and cans belong back at the store.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either. Asbestos needs special handling from start to finish.
If you're unsure about an item, ask your account manager before you toss it in.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
The City of Romulus contracts with a private company for curbside trash, and residents must use the City carts. Bags and other containers set beside the carts aren't accepted, so a remodel, roof, or big cleanout calls for a roll-off.
One public landfill for Romulus loads is the Riverview Land Preserve at 20863 Grange Road, Riverview, MI 48193. The City of Riverview has owned and run it since 1968. It takes construction, demolition, commercial, and tree waste. The landfill is open on weekdays and closed on Saturday and Sunday. The main office number is 734-281-4263.
You can find details on the Land Preserve's page. Every load crosses its scale, so heavier debris costs more to dispose of. Your account manager will confirm where your debris is headed and go over the fees before delivery.
Most Romulus rentals can be set up within one to two business days, and your container shows up in a 24 to 48 hour window. If you book a few days early, you'll have time to call the City about street placement and clear the spot.
A few tips help delivery go smoothly:
Keep the landfill's days in mind as you plan. The Riverview Land Preserve landfill is closed on weekends, so a container you fill on Saturday usually goes out early the next week.

Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
In Romulus, a 10-yard dumpster runs $399 to $499, and a 40-yard runs $699 to $899, based on a five-day rental. What you load and the landfill's disposal fees also shape the total. Your account manager will confirm the included tonnage and any overage rate before you book.
For anything bigger than a few truckloads, renting usually wins. Each trip to the landfill in Riverview means a weigh-in, a drive of about 14 miles each way, and time off the job. A roll-off sits in your driveway and leaves in one haul.
Yes. A three-seat couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster. You'll still have room for a mattress, a dresser, and a stack of boxes. Furniture runs out of space long before it runs into the weight limit.
Keep out hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, used oil, and asbestos. Michigan landfills also refuse lead acid batteries, PCB waste, and whole tires. Yard clippings should be composted instead of buried. Ask your account manager about anything else before you load it.
The 10-yard dumpster has the lowest price, at $399 to $499. The weight of your load still matters most. Concrete, brick, or wet shingles can push a small container over its limit fast. Keeping heavy debris in its own container often saves money.
Three days usually costs the same as our standard five-day rental, because we price each job as a whole. The weight of your debris matters more than the days you keep it. Your account manager can tell you what weight is included and what extra tons cost.
Most household and building debris is allowed in a Romulus dumpster. That includes drywall, lumber, shingles, siding, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and general junk. Concrete and brick are fine as well. If an item seems questionable, check with your account manager before it goes in.
